Football often brings huge surprises. Juan Roman Riquelme can prove it. The xeneize vice president was installed on him Mouth in the final of the Libertadores and is running for president for the year-end elections, in elections that put him as a comfortable winner.
However, the magical number 10 and now leader was hit by the ball several times in a chain and everything became complicated. The team did not win the coveted ‘Seventh’, then failed to qualify for the 2024 edition and also missed out on the League Cup playoffs.
Furthermore, the opposition, promoted by former president Mauricio Macri (candidate for vice in the formula led by Andrés Ibarra), not only makes shocking promises (a new Bombonera metro from the current and Martín Palermo as coach ) but also called for a suspension. of the elections scheduled for this Sunday, December 3, and encourages the Justice to accept that request by considering that there are “irregularities and anomalies in the membership register” consisting of 13,000 cases. Boca and Riquelme are in check.
It’s all part of a film for power with a fissure as strong as the one that has brutally divided Argentine politics for nearly two decades. And in this blue and yellow film, of course, national politics also plays very strongly in the background. How about the recently elected president of the Country, Javier Milei, who has already declared on social media in favor of Macri because he chose Palermo as his coach…!
The sporting frustrations are out. “We ran out of gas at the end of the year,” Riquelme admitted on Tuesday night in Argentina, early Wednesday in Spain. At that point, the certainty that Boca would not play in the Libertadores in 2024 was overtaken by a political tsunami.
The differences between Riquelme and Macri are historical. They originated when Román was a footballer and Mauricio was the president of the club. And in this election campaign they certainly went deep.
In the last hours, they crossed the darts from one front to the other. First, the press conference of Ibarra and Macri, accusing Riquelme and company. The former president of the Country asked the former 10: “Roman, we have the opportunity to put an end to so many lies that you tell. If you really want a clear election, run away from the gentlemen who entered the registry when they should not have entered. ” I ran with these 13,000 and let’s vote on Sunday, which is what we all want.”
Afterwards, Riquelme went out shooting, betting on instilling fear: “They want to privatize the club and for Boca not to vote again. They just want Boca to play politics. These people should never, ever, never return to the club.” At the exit of Bombonera, 10 was caressed by many people who demonstrated in the surrounding streets to support him. Román appeared with a club lawyer who did not give specific explanations about this situation and emphasized that the same opposition when it was in charge of the club did something similar.
Because of this, after a while the opposition returned to the mess in the voice of Andrés Ibarra: “I was surprised because I did not see any response from any of them, neither from their legal counsel nor from Riquelme. They made a mistake in the number of the partners. This decision This is based 90 percent on the expert opinion that they made when analyzing the systems. All these details came out there. The remarkable thing is that the lawyer was there “…” .
This Thursday there will be a conciliation hearing with Judge Alejandra Abrevaya and the official leadership led by Riquelme. Meanwhile, on the lawn of Bombonera, three large tents are ready for members to come and vote. Will they vote?
